2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional portable image terminal, in order to make the terminal excellent in portability, its outer shape is large enough to fit in the palm of a human hand, and accordingly, a display screen is mounted on a monitor of a personal computer or the like. Very small compared to
Since the size is about 1 to 3 inches, in order to select an image to be displayed from a plurality of stored image data, the images are displayed one by one as shown in FIG. . Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of image data is reduced by sampling or the like, and a list is displayed on a display screen, and then a desired image is selected.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned portable image terminal, when image data is displayed one by one, the next image to be displayed is not known, and there are many stored image data. However, there is a problem that it takes a lot of time and operations to select desired image data.

In the case where a plurality of stored image data are reduced and displayed in a list and then selected, it is difficult to determine what the contents of the image data are by sampling. However, there is a problem that it may not be possible to confirm whether the image data is the desired image data without displaying the image data.

In a portable image terminal, when desired image data is selected from a plurality of image data displayed at the same time, the number of all images is clearly indicated on the terminal screen and a predetermined time is set. The present invention provides a portable image terminal that is enlarged and displayed only.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment of the portable image terminal of the present invention. a) shows the state of the selection display mode, in which the thirteenth image is being selected on the display screen of the portable image terminal from the stored 24 image data. In order to display the images stored on the display screen, the images are reduced and displayed one by one. Further, the selected image is surrounded by an edge to be distinguished from other non-selected images. b) is an enlarged display of the selected thirteenth image.
